#187: New Dry Eye Relief Product that makes Travel Easy

Traveling can be a little tricky when you have sensitive eyes or suffer from dry eye disease. There seems to be added environmental stressors around every corner when you are in a new setting. I travel often and I've developed a little kit of products that I'm always sure to grab when I leave town.

The last time I traveled I added a new product to the kit.  It's definitely going to be a staple of my daily care regimen whether I'm on the go or not.  I love this product so much that I don't just use it when I travel and its brand new, so I'm excited to talk to you about it. It's called Neutra Wipe from Tear Restore.

First, let's review the 4-simple steps to dry eye care:

1. Hydrate with an artificial tear
2. Harmonize with a lid and lash cleanser
3. Heat with a warm compress mask
4. Heal with a nutrient-rich dietary supplement

With these 4 steps you will increase hydration, reduce inflammation, add a soothing coat of protection from the elements, and give your body the building blocks to continue to make more healthy tears.

Those are the elements of the 4-simple steps: artificial tears, lid and lash cleanser, warm compress mask, and an omega-3 fatty acid supplement.  The Neutra Wipe is a hypochlorous acid wipe for your lids and lashes. This product falls into 2 steps.

The NeutraWipe from Tear Restore

I recently received a box to try from the inventor himself. There are so many things I love about this wipe. Let me tell you about them.

1. They are individually packaged in a peel pack that is so easy to carry. They won't spill like a hypochlorous acid spray.
2. They contain hypochlorous acid which is a natural way to keep the bacteria that live on our lids and lashes at bay.
3. They don't irritate my eyes because they don't contain any toxic chemicals in them.

CONCLUSIONS:

Dry eye sufferers are often plagued by redness and sensitivity. Often, the irritation comes from over population of the bacteria which normally live on your lids and lashes. Hypochlorous acid based cleansers are great to use for dry eye sufferers because they are natural and non-irritating.  They are effective at defending against bacteria, yet gentle enough for long-term daily use.

The NeutraWipe from Tear Restore is the first hypochlorous acid based cleanser to come in the convenience of a wipe.

Since they are individually packaged, these wipes are so easy to carry. You can put them in your purse, you can put them in your travel bag, and you don't have to worry about the spray leaking.

 Adding a hypochlorous acid based cleanser to your daily regimen is a great a product to use every day to keep your lids and lashes clean. The hypochlorous acid kills the bacteria that can get overpopulated on our lids and lashes when we have dry eyes. It's the bacteria that causes redness on the rim of the lids. Your eyes can be very red when we wake up in the morning if you have an overgrowth of the bacteria. And these wipes are the same strength as other hypochlorous acid sprays on the market. So you're not compromising strength to have the convenience of it being in a wipe.  Now, that's a win/win situation.
